On the Water. Kayak among sheltered coves and grottoes. Learn to surf or windsurf in one lesson, and from the best in the world. Sail away on sleek catamarans and magnificent yachts, or zip over the waves on super-fast ocean rafts. Get your kicks jet skiing, para-sailing, and water skiing. (Sometimes in winter, you can even snow ski down a volcano!) Go scuba-diving, whale-watching, snorkeling, and outrigger canoeing. Take in one of our state-of-the-art marine parks and aquariums, or ride a real submarine for an up-close look at the wonders of the reefs. And if you've ever craved the challenge of deep-sea, big-game fishing, there's no better place for it than Hawaii.
On the Wind. Countless visitors to Hawaii name their helicopter sightseeing tour as the highlight of their vacation, because it's the only way to see some of our most astonishing hidden secrets - like real lava flows, and valleys where no human has ever set foot, and the awesome heart of the rainforest. For the sheer thrill of it, try hang-gliding - with or without a motor - or a barnstorming flight in a vintage biplane.
On the Road. And the trail, of course. Mountain bikers love Hawaii, because the challenging terrain never stops changing - go from kiawe-thorn badlands one minute to black volcanic headlands the next. If you want the fun without the sweat, venture off-road in a four-wheel-drive Jeep; or if you have a motorcycle license, why not rent a Harley and tour Hawaii in style? Horseback riding here is truly spectacular: gallop from eucalyptus forests to white sand beaches, or learn how real "paniolos" - Hawaiian cowboys - do it, and even join in for some cattle sorting and herding.
Of course, there's every kind of traditional sport imaginable - from tennis, to ice-skating, to bowling, to roller-blading, to world-class archery and clay-pigeon shooting. In fact, when it comes to fun, if you can imagine it, you can do it in Hawaii.
